With the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD gave to them;
The Land Divided East of the Jordan
Half the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already received their grants of land on the east side of the Jordan, for Moses, the servant of the LORD, had previously assigned this land to them.

But the Israelites failed to drive out the people of Geshur and Maacah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.
Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He spoke to him.
An Allotment for the Tribe of Levi
Moses did not assign any allotment of land to the tribe of Levi. Instead, as the LORD had promised them, their allotment came from the offerings burned on the altar to the LORD, the God of Israel.
So Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families.
The Land Given to the Tribe of Reuben
Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the tribe of Reuben.

The land of Reuben also included all the towns of the plain and the entire kingdom of Sihon. Sihon was the Amorite king who had reigned in Heshbon and was killed by Moses along with the leaders of Midian — Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba — princes living in the region who were allied with Sihon.
The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slain.
The Israelites had also killed Balaam son of Beor, who used magic to tell the future.
The border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

Moses also gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families.

and in the valley, Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, as far as the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east.
This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
The towns and their surrounding villages in this area were given as a homeland to the clans of the tribe of Gad.
Moses also gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families.
The Land Given to the Half-Tribe of Manasseh
Moses had assigned the following area to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;
Their territory extended from Mahanaim, including all of Bashan, all the former kingdom of King Og, and the sixty towns of Jair in Bashan.

It also included half of Gilead and King Og’s royal cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei. All this was given to the clans of the descendants of Makir, who was Manasseh’s son.
These are the territories which Moses apportioned for an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east.
